Transcription Notes:

Reopened for Editing 2024-06-11 03:05:30 Remove unnecessary spaces between questions and answers, spelling clarification goes in [single brackets] not [[double]] - not true - double brackets are always used because they would not be in the original documents

it's Carey
always use double brackets [[]] because they will never be in the original documents and it saves single brackets that might be in original documents - but keep brackets to a minimum per SI instructions.
